It is Wednesday and you know what that means

BRAND NEW HOT OFF THE PRESS
If you like doing ATC's you need this sheet and it is only ONE dollar go ahead you earned this.
ONE BUCK digi sheet and you can only get them here. Just imagine making really cool tags. you will need this one.

So hurry on over and pick one up for only a buck and while you're there check out all the new stuff that Patty has

What is $29.99 worth to you?

I am mad, upset, angry beyond words. BUYER BEWARE should be stamped on many websites. I bought a membership to an online source that ended up not being what I thought it was.
In the small print, and trust me there was a ton of it. It says we will charge you every month the first of the month $4.99 for your membership and you cannot cancel it until after six months.
WHAT seriously? are you kidding me? seriously? ( I totally missed that part when I placed my order ( reminder to self buy glasses and read the thing
So, I buy the membership on the 26th of the month and get charged again today for a website I didn't even SAVE!!!!!!
I sent three emails telling them to cancel my membership let's see now what happens.... they can charge me right away on my card but now on their website it says oh it may take 30 days to cancel and only after six months...yay okay right.
So, dear website if you have googled my name and found this site yes, it is you I am talking about and yes I am still very very angry that any website let alone a website for crafters would do this.... So what have I learned from this lesson?
I WILL NEVER EVER make an online purchase unless it is from on of the stores on my sidebar.
I am just hoping this website makes it right. I guess unless you know what you are doing you need to make sure you read the fine print.... lesson learned and it only cost me $29.99
So, for the hundreds of you that read this a day...... I just saved you $29.99
READ THE FINE PRINT..... and now there is always FINE PRINT

This ATC I used Tim Holtz's fragments. On both atc's I used glossy accents

Happy Valentine's Day... Hope you like the start of Sunday's art

From my friend Patti

crap you cant see it very well but Stanley came in a HOUSE of SIN

Wow, imagine my surprise when I got home from Nags Head and this was waiting for me.

About a year or so ago Patti and I started trading back and forth ATC's. Every other month one would chose the theme. Patti chose the 7 deadly sins.

I have to tell you Patti is an aclaimed artist. I mean she has won awards has had her art in shows she is just well, freaking amazing. I told her I just wanted to slip into her head for one day.

You have to see her art here

The stuff she does just blows me away. With the move coming up I haven't had time to look at peoples blogs lately. I went to hers to get her blog addy to post and god once again blown away.

You have to go take a look you will not be dissapointed.

Oh my god I love this one

hubba hubba

Now this one cause me to pee my pants.

Oh she knows me so well.

I get to chose the next one and you know what I chose???? go ahead guess.... you are so right.

Each other's favorite movies and what would mine be????

Did you guess Breakfast at Tiffany's? ding ding ding you are a winner.

Look what I received from Vicki

We left Wednesday night so I wasn't able to post Patty's Wednesday deal but here it is.

Now everyone needs this ONE Inch Circle punch images!!!!!

Wow, get out that once inch circle punch and make some art. These are amazing. I am seeing some glaze on top of these or some glass pebbles etc...

I just love her sheets and can't help but spread the word. So, get on over there and pick up this sheet for only a buck before she posts a new one then this one will go back to full price of two bucks!! Still a deal!!!!!

okay so forgive the flat hair and no make up

it was windy and I was cold. but here we are at the cape hatteras light house.

Our new home

This is the master and master bathroom second story

This is the bathroom and entrance into the craft room

This is the kitchen love the bead board

One one side is Rick's sink and the other side is my sink! This is the back of the condo we are in the second one from the right

This is the third florr and it has a CRAFT room can you believe it with my own little bathroom

of course the fireplace is in the living room

stairs lead down to the second story which is where two large master suites are

The view from my balcony!!! WATER

There is only one other person that lives here year round everyone else is just summer.

There is a pool and it is huge for only I think there is only like 16 units? Then there is this walk that goes all along the water and boat launches boat slips etc.

I love love love this place!!!!

My brand new kitchen. This condo has never been lived in before and is brand spakin new see that micro? well it just isn't a micro it is one of those fancy smancy microwaves with hi tech baking..lol

Granite counter tops

The last three days......

We had to drive down and see the house that was in the movie nights in rodanthe. We had a blast the picture above was taken by someone else here but the pictures below were all ours. As you can see above the hosue was ready to be taken in by the sea. Such a shame. The house is called Serendipity. Most of the houses in the OBX have darling names.

This is Serendipity now. She has been lifted from her moorings and will be moved down the beach to an area where she will not be taken by the sea

Just look at the tourists. It was a major major deal today to watch them get it ready for the big move.

Rick took these amazing pictures of the house on the move. I just get chills knowing that in just six weeks Rick and I will be moving to the OBX. We found our house and yes it is on the water.

We are on the sound side and I have pictures to post of the house in another post.

We are beyond ourselves with such happiness. There are a million worse places to live than the outer banks that is for sure. I have NEVER in all my years and I have traveled the world met such friendly people.

You stop for gas and you have a new friend. True Story: We stopped for gas and Rick was pumping the gas and I am telling you new friend. The gentleman pumping gas next to Rick gave him a card, suggestions for eating etc.

Realtors Wow:::: Let me just say OBX has the friendliest Realtors too.

Restaurants? Tons but most close down for the season we did however find several that were open and once again friendly friendly people.

Rick made a comment a few years ago..... He said wouldn't it be great to move to a place where everyone knew your name? Where you have someone you know on every corner. Where a neighbor is truly a friend?

Well, I think we found the place....OBX here we come!!! and we can't wait

Weekend ART

I wanted to make a manly man ATC. The challenge this month was postage stamps. This is a Valentine Rubberstamp holder of course with an ATC on top. I used Tim Holtz's furnace tape technique.

Another postage stamp ATC

Wasn't sure if I had posted this so I thought I would just repost.

It was an Audrey Hepburn kind of Christmas this year

Okay so as I have said many times I am an Audrey Hepburn FAN. I asked Rick for Audrey Hepburn stuff this year for Christmas and this is what I got This will hang in my new studio as soon as we move to Nags Head, N.C. in March

Breakfast at Tiffanys remastered... nothing like the black and white but still awesome. I think I will buy the black and white version for Valentine's day. I am so glad I have this one it is a two disc set.

Audrey Hepburn coffee mug, coaster and tin

Audrey Hepburn purse

And my Pashima scarf 100% cashmere.... oh yeah

This really awesome Audrey Hepburn book that I can make atc's with

And of course this freakin awesome blade for the Kitchenaid mixer that he bought me last month.

A hot hair brush curling iron

and a gift certificate for a Cuttlebug yet he said Cuddlebug so not only do I get a Cuttlebug but I will get to Cuddle anytime I want with my little bug...aka Rick.

So that was the booty this year

Tons of cooking and baking things from my associates

and of course I got many gift cards for various craft stores and two frilly aprons. I think everyone has me pegged by now.

Merry Christmas everyone

Sparkle and Sprinkle

Black Friday while I was at work Rick went online to www.sprinkleandsparkle.com and bought these 10 stamp sets for me. Awesome deal since it was buy five get five free. I love the Diva collection just too cute.

You can see the divas in the picture above. Tonight I am working with some sparkle fluff that I got from www.cropstop.com

Can't wait to post it so you can see the cute stuff.

Everyone continue to hang in there...only two more weeks and I will be back with tons of new art. Working retail during the holidays is killer but I promise to have some fun new stuff coming your way.

Merry Christmas everyone

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

This was on the front steps of the house yesterday waiting for me. Rick isn't able to get to the door so Fed Ex left it right on the door step. Sorry Rick for finding one of my Christmas gifts.

Then this arrived Tuesday. A really cool gift basket loaded with some awesome treats. There is also a table runner and cutting board in there too. this arrived from my company. Last year they sent one as well. They are always beautiful and always full of great food.

I have always wanted a KitchenAid Mixer for as long as I can remember but didn't want to spend the five hundred dollars they cost on them. I didn't want the one you find in Kohls or Target but I wanted the heavy duty pro series 600 with lift bowl. Rick did an amazing job and found this one at Amazon for a KILLER deal and a rebate.

I love Black Friday deals and I love Amazon because all week long they have had black friday deals with free shipping. Rick bought this on Sunday and it ended up at our door yesterday.

I can't wait to make cupcakes with this baby.....

SVG update

Wow, I have received several emails asking me what you can do with an SVG file
okay let me try to explain it as I am new to it too. SVG is a cutting file you can use for your cricut machine using the sure cuts a lot program. As far as I know you have to have the SCAL program on your computer to use the SVG. I am however going to send this to Dina and see if she can enlighten us more.
So, stay tuned and while we are waiting on an answer make sure you click on treasure box designs and check out their amazing cut files.

SCAL and SVG files

Check out this only $5.99 for the entire collection. reg 9.99

Check out this little guy can you believe only $1.20 cents for the SVG file reg. 2.00

I bet some of you are thinking what is SCAL? well, I know I did. Now I know that SCAL is short for Sure Cuts A Lot and boy does it ever.

For those of you who have been following for a time you know that last year Rick surprised me with a Cricut Expression for Christmas. I have bought oh 20 cartridges for it and I was thinking boy it sure gets expensive buying these cartridges that cut oh maybe 75-100 images. There must be a better way......

Duh and I mean Duh

over at http://www.cropstop.com/ we were chatting and Elaine said you need SCAL well after a week of her trying to explain it to me I bought it and wow. Wait I didn't say that loud enough WOW WOW WOW not only can you search the web for free files but you can also buy files and some of them just take your breath away. HERE is one such place and I will be putting her site on my side bar for future use.

Treasure Box Designs and what a treasure they are and now they are 40% off but hurry because I don't know how long they will be on sale. Dina is amazing I tell you forget spending tons of money on cartridges where you will only use a few go here first.

Now you must have SCAL program for the SVG files but she also has files to download for DIGI stamps too.

So hurry on over and check it out and tell Dina that Veronica sent you

Never before have I seen Patty do this

You must go here to see her amazing ONE dollar digi sheet collections. These are amazing. There are 26 yes I said 26 one dollar collection sheets for you to purchase so get over there now.
Now if that doesn't get you running what about this 4.00 digi SETS!!!!!!!
Yes I did say four bucks and yes there are backgrounds, images etc you have to see those. I think I may get both myself. WOW four bucks that's less that a foot long that will be gone in 15 minutes. These images you can use over and over and over again
Okay so you say not for me..... well then run here and check out all her brand spankin and I mean brand spankin new digi sheets.
Alright, alright so I saved the best for last.....
HERE is where you can find the sale of a lifetime at www.lisasalteredart.com. I have heard loud and clear from everyone that you missed my updates at www.lisasalteredart.com so I promise I will make sure from now on I don't get too busy to post Wednesday's dollar digi special.

Sometimes.......

we have to simply raise our hand and say I GIVE UP. Today was one of those days. I had to unjoin several yahoo groups that I belonged too. I simply don't have time any longer. I am leading my ATC challenge at www.cropstop.com and I REALLY love doing that. I have been doing it almost a year now and that is so much fun that I truly don't have much time for other groups. So, please understand....... why I had to leave all the other groups. Before www.cropstop.com I hadn't found my niche or my voice. Since then I have and I am so loving all the ATC's that I get to create.
Haylie Jo and Vicki and all my fellow creative team members help fuel my desire and my need to create.
I have really found a home there.......... as for my blog. Yes, I will keep it up but I may only be able to post a couple times a week instead of everyday. I also will keep trying to post all my ATC's that I have been making.
Hugs to all
Veronica

Where does the time go?

This ATC I made using Shrinky Dink for my Novemember atc challenge at www.cropstop.com
I used my amazing Timmy Holtz's stamp set for this atc.
I also am making seven ATC's for my monthly ATC swap with Patti. This sin would be ENVY and the reason for ENVY ..... I am so envious of this skinny body...lol
and I am envious that she is in Paris with this skinny body.

Now the one on the left is called Summers in the south I also used shrinky dink on this one as well.
The one on the right is PRIDE another of the 7 deadly sins. Pride for having not a hair out of place with perfect red lips.
I would love to have everyone join me over at www.cropstop.com and join my monthly ATC challenges.

Seems like forever since I have been here. I was in Dallas for a week this past week attending meetings. Got home Friday night after my flight kept being delayed out of Dallas. I was so excited when the plane landed.

Today of course with Daylight savings time I gained an hour but I can't tell you what I did with it. lol

I did take a few minutes today to make three ATC cards so here you go....
